Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Girls

Feminine Magazine Adventure

A few people mentioned that they wanted Sexy Ninjas Unlimited to come back somehow and have everyone's reactions to finding themselves or their teammates in the magazines.  Now, since the men had their Manly Sleepover, we decided to give the girls their… Feminine Magazine Adventure.

Tenten is our avid magazine reader.  She orders Sexy Ninjas unlimited and gets it in the mail monthly.  It had been nearly three weeks since the incident in which four of the boys had been whisked away to pose for the magazine so it had escaped EVERYONE'S minds by that time.  But now, as she pulled the magazine out of her mailbox, she remembered.

And, since all the girls were over her house ANYWAY, she sprinted back inside to show them.  Unnecessary screeching ensued as everyone proceeded to push each other to get the best spot over Tenten's shoulder to look at the magazine.

"Look at all the pictures of Sasuke!" shrieked Sakura and Ino.

"Which ones were in the magazine again?" Hinata asked.

"Well, let's see." Said Tenten.  "Kiba, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Neji.  All the sexy ones!"

"Oh." Hinata said, nodding.

"I'll never forgive them for walking out and not giving us the opportunity to be in the magazine." Sakura sighed.  "And I was paired up with Sasuke!  I don't believe it!"

"Believe it, Sakura." Said Tenten, at a loss of anything else to say.

"All right, I want this picture!" Ino said, pointing to a picture of Sasuke just standing there like a knave.  "Rip it out, Tenten."

"No way!" said Tenten.  "This is MY magazine!  I'm not just going to rip out a page!"

"But you're not nearly as obsessed with Sasuke as I am!" Ino whined.

"No, no, no!" said Sakura.  "We should do it like this; I get all the pictures of Sasuke, Ino gets all the pictures of Shikamaru, Hinata gets all the pictures of Kiba and you can get all the pictures of Neji!"

"Why would I want all the pictures of Shikamaru?" said Ino.

"Because you're on the same team as him and you're OBVIOUSLY flirting with him ALL THE TIME." Said Sakura as if she knew.

"No I'm not!" said Ino angrily.  "I hate it when people say we are!  My dad always gives me a hard time too!  We're just friends, that's all!"

"Sure, sure." Said Sakura.

"Yeah and who says I want to take pictures of Neji?" said Tenten.

"You said yourself that you would choose Neji." Sakura reminded her.

"Yeah." Said Tenten.  "BEFORE LEE.  I'm not feeling any attraction towards Neji at all."

"You don't have to feel attraction for someone to think they're sexy!" said Sakura.  "I don't like Neji, Shikamaru or Kiba but I have to admit they look sexy in this magazine!"

"Well, the magazine IS called Sexy Ninjas Unlimited…" Hinata said.

"Hinata, I notice you didn't object when Sakura said you can keep all of Kiba's pictures." Ino said.

"Even though we're not ripping the pictures out ANYWAY." Tenten added.

"Well…it's just that…" Hinata said nervously.  "We're friends and I didn't want to put him down."

"He's not even HERE!" Sakura pointed out.

"Besides, you can't tell me that you don't notice Kiba is practically obsessed with you." Tenten said.

"What?" Hinata said obliviously.

"Oh my god, look at this picture!" Ino squealed, pointing to another picture of Sasuke.  The girls swooned over Sasuke's being for a little while, turned the page and then swooned over his begin some more.

"There seems to be more pictures of Sasuke in here than everyone else." Sakura observed.  "There's practically none of Neji at all."

"I'm not surprised." Tenten said.  "It kind of surprised me that Neji even went along with her.  I guess that means secretly deep down inside, Neji actually wants to be a model."

Hinata coughed a bit.  "I don't know about that." She said.

"I wish I had a copy of this magazine!" said Ino.  "Tenten, where did you subscribe?"

"I don't remember." Tenten answered.  "It was a while ago.  I get these little subscription renewals in the magazine now."

"Can I have one?" Ino pleaded.

"Sure, I guess." Tenten said, ripping out the subscription renewal and giving it to Ino.

"I want one too!" said Sakura.

Tenten went under her bed and pulled out another Sexy Ninjas Unlimited magazine and took THAT subscription renewal out.

"You want one too, Hinata?" Tenten said, waving another one in front of Hinata.

"Um…no, that's okay." Said Hinata.  Whether she actually meant it or not is still a mystery to even me!

"She wants one!" said Ino.  "She just doesn't want to say it!"

"It's all right." Hinata insisted.

"Just give it to her." Sakura said.

"All right, Hinata, but just in case you ever want something to read." Tenten said, putting the card in Hinata's hand.

"Um…" Hinata started, turning bright red.

"See?" said Ino.  "See how she's not dropping it or putting it down?"

"It's all right, Hinata!" said Sakura.  "WE all like Sexy Ninjas Unlimited!"

"We all like sexy ninjas!" Tenten corrected.  All the girls giggled at the lamest joke ever except for Hinata who was still trying to recollect herself.  They had a little party where they all renewed subscriptions or subscribed for the first time.

"I'll have to start getting the mail at the beginning of each month." Ino said.  "I don't know what my dad would do if he found out that I subscribed to a magazine without his permission… especially THIS one!"

"Oh!" said Tenten.  "I just remembered!  A while ago, I caught Naruto with a bunch of pictures that he took of these four to get back at them for getting in the magazine when he didn't.  Let me find them…"

Tenten looked around on her shelf for a moment before she pulled out a small envelope filled with pictures.

"What are you guys doing in a hole?" Sakura asked, picking up the picture that was at the top of the stack.

"I thought I took that one out!" Tenten said, snatching it away.  "Naruto mainly took it because Iruka had just pushed Neji in the hole."

"Yeah but…why were you and Lee already in it?" Ino asked.

"It was training!" Tenten said.

Everyone nodded and pretended as though they believed her even though they DIDN'T.  So they chuckled warmly at the pictures for a little while before finally reaching the end of the pile.

"He explained to me why each picture was stupid!" Tenten laughed.

"That Naruto!" said Sakura.  "He should just take a picture of HIMSELF and put it in his magazine of stupid ninjas!"

"Uh…" Hinata started but no one heard her.  She was ABOUT to stick up for Naruto but then she got to shy.  Instead, she only sat there quietly.

"Okay…so now what should we do?" asked Ino.

It was silent.

"How about we spy on Sasuke?" suggested Sakura.

"OKAY!!" cheered everyone as they jumped up and were out of the door faster than you can say… Sexy Ninjas Unlimited!
